'Something related to the play you guys have to prepare as your project?' Ying Xuan asked, sliding into a seat.
Shi Weiwei gave her a very surprised look, "How do you know about that?"
Xuan chuckled, 'I've got other friends you know.'
"Oh." was Weiwei's response as Wei Jingyu picked up one of the books lying on the table, "Why do you need all these books to write?"
Shi Weiwei slumped on her chair with an exhausted expression, "Need ideas."
Ying Xuan: 'Any progress?'
Shi Weiwei pointed to all the scattered papers around her. "Loads. I've already wasted about three trees." she said in a sarcastic tone.
Ying Xuan was about to say something when Wei Jingyu interupted, "What project were you talking about?"
Shi Weiwei massaged her head as she replied, "All in the drama class have to write a short fantasy play. It can be anything. And we have to stage it too. We'll be given marks on the basis of our scripts and the three best ones will get to be shown in the end of semester ball."
Wei Jingyu was deep in thought, "The end of semester ball, huh. So these projects we will be getting will be like our semester end exams."
Hearing their gloomy conversation, Ying Xuan stood up. She signed, 'Cheer up. End terms are still two months away. I know, you need a change of scenery.'
She then grabbed hold of Weiwei's hand and pulled her out of her chair.
After dragging Weiwei a little distance, Ying Xuan turned around and beckoned to Wei Jingyu, who tossed the book away and followed them.
Shi Weiwei crossed her arms and huffed as Xuan pulled her by her collar, "I hate all you sports people and your strengths."
'So, do you have any basic idea about what you are going to write?' Xuan asked as she took off her sweater and enjoyed the feel of the sun on her skin.
"I don't wanna talk about it. And where's Jingyu at?" Weiwei replied, crossing her arms and pouting like a little kid.
Ying Xuan found her too cute and pinched her cheeks, which led to Shi Weiwei waving her little fists at her.
The two were sitting on a bench in their spot, the garden. Ying Xuan had dragged Weiwei there, saying some fresh air and nice sun would do her good. And Wei Jingyu had mysteriously disappeared somewhere after getting a call.
While Shi Weiwei was still pouting, Wei Jingyu returned with a big brown bag in his hands, accompanied by Mo Kio.
'I only asked for the bag, what's this?' Xuan signed as she pointed at Mo Kio.
Wei Jingyu cracked up and even Shi Weiwei suppressed a smile and Mo Kio sighed, "I'm gonna have to learn sign language. What did she say?" he asked, turning to Jingyu.
"Xuan said you are very unwelcome and she will kick you if you don't leave now." Wei Jingyu replied with a straight face as he put down the bag.
Mo Kio: "..."
Ying Xuan clutched her stomach as Shi Weiwei shook her head. "She asked why are you here. And please sit down, both of you." Weiwei said, eyeing Wei Jingyu and Ying Xuan.
Mo Kio pursued his lips as he sat down, "Must you always attack me with words Xuan?"
